The most powerful feedback is often from students because they say exactly what they are thinking.  Below you will see what middle school students and high school students (males and females) have to say about Mike Domitrz and the “Can I Kiss You?” program.

Read Comments from Students Below:

We just had a speech from you today, and I truly believe what you are saying. If more people thought the way you made them think today about sexual assault and what not, our town, our world would be a better place. You really made students think that wanted to listen and learn from you. For that I admire you
~ High School student from Cedarburg High School in WI

“I was starting to wonder if anything I’d read about a man really loving a woman was true or not. But when I saw you up there, talking about what happened to your sisters and encouraging the boys at my school to be more caring toward the girls, I was truly touched. You helped give me hope again. I’m sure your job involves stress, but never give up on what you do. It is a wonderful thing, and I want to thank you with all my heart. As corny as this sounds, I mean it. thank you, on behalf of all girls who hear your speech. Thanks. We all appreciate it.”
~ Middle School student from IA

“Thanks so much for speaking with us! Your energy was contagious and your words really stuck. I was a little skeptical at first but you truly helped us open our eyes. I spoke with my Dad about “can you kiss me” and he said that when he met my mom he asked if he could kiss her! My mom said that she was presently surprised and almost 30 years later she still remembers how romantic their first kiss was. You are a very talented speaker and have a great message. Thanks again for your time and energy! ~ Liz.  P.S. I opened the door.”
~ High School student from TX

You spoke at a nearby college the other night and I attended the program.  I live in Boys and Girls homes (a group home) because I am a foster care child. I am 16-and me and few other girls attended your program along with the college students. I was emailing you to say thank you. I am a survivor of multiple sexual assaults. No one -and when I say no one…I am talking about therapist…teachers….social workers….case workers….community providers – no one has ever connected with me the way you did. I think it is amazing that finally someone can answer those hard questions of why the victim doesn’t do this or why the victim doesn’t say that. I think what you are doing is amazing. And I thank God every day for people like you that speak out and cause every day-every hour-every minute-every second….every moment, just a little bit easier. It is because of everyday heroes like you—I don’t have to be ashamed anymore.  And for that I am now and forever more grateful. Continue the work you are doing. You are truly a gift from God.
~ A High School student

“I’m a survivor and I have opened doors all because of you.  I have not told anyone that I am a survivor to more than one time. . . thank you mike for helping me think about it and now I think that I can be more comfortable about talking about rape and sexual assault. So again, I don’t know if this is how I email you or not but thanks if it is.”
~ A High School student from IA

~ Gilmore Middle School

“i don’t have a question i just wanted to tell you a story. i am 16 years old and currently in 11th grade. i was rapped and sexually harassed most of my life. while in the assembly i sat there and listened very intently to the people around me’s reaction to what you were saying about that.  in the begining of you presentation they were snickering and being immature (typical kids) but when you got to that part there really was no laugh or any jokes or anything. it was awesome what you did and are doing.  you have given my courage and helped me to realize that i am not the only one out there who is hurting so thank! i really appreciate it!  may God bless you for all that you do and have done!”

Mike Domitrz is the only expert who gives campuses such an amazing package of programs, expertise, and educational resources!! Call (800) 329-9390 to bring Mike to your campus.

    Customizing for Specific Audiences

    Mike Domitrz is known for his ability to tailor each presentation to the needs of the students in attendance and within the framework of the campus’s standards. If your school has a unique culture or you would like Mike to present his program to a very specific body of students (Athletes, Greek Life, etc…), Mike will discuss all of your needs and wants — prior to his arrival at your school. Below are just a few examples of the audiences Mike customizes his program for:

    Religious Institutions
    Non-Traditional Students
    Greek Life (Fraternities & Sororities)
    Athletic Departments
    Residence Life

    RELIGIOUS INSTITUTIONS
    One of the most common concerns for some religious institutions is whether certain sexual assault programming is appropriate according to their school’s beliefs and policies. Mike’s presentation is recommended by campuses of all religious standards (from the most liberal to the most conservative). Why? Mike’s entire approach is built around respect for one’s self and your partner. With regards to language and content, his program is considered one of the “cleanest” shows in the country. At the same time, he is one of the most entertaining and educational speakers in the college market! For this reason, Mike is highly sought-after by religious universities!

    NON-TRADITIONAL STUDENTS
    The concepts shared by Mike in his programs are applicable to all levels of relationships (from a 1st date to a couple who has been married for over 20 years). With Mike being a working husband and father of 4 boys, non-traditional students relate to him and appreciate Mike’s honesty on communication, respect, and healthy relationships — including marriage.

    GREEK LIFE
    Fraternities and Sororities rave about Mike’s entertaining and interactive approach. Greek Life students are frequently mandated to attend a certain number of sexual assault awareness events. In doing so, they often expect the presentations to be filled with boring statistics. Mike surprises them by using no statistics and by talking to each student as an equal. First, he gets them laughing and then he gets them to create positive change on their campus.

    ATHLETIC DEPARTMENTS
    As a state championship coach and a collegiate athlete himself, Mike has a special talent of connecting with athletes. Instead of lecturing, Mike talks with athletes in a language they understand. He provides them with practical solutions and simple skills needed for each person to make positive changes — in their own life and in the lives of the people around them. He inspires athletes to take action that will create a safer community….while at the same time greatly improving the image of the athletic teams on campus. Plus, Mike is a listed speaker for the Health & Safety NCAA Speaker’s Grant. Click here to learn more.

    RESIDENCE LIFE
    Mike Domitrz works closely with your Residence Life department to create a tailored workshop for all levels of leadership (from Administration to Resident Directors to RAs to your residents). He will challenge your leadership to evaluate how they address healthy dating issues and how to build the most supportive atmosphere for survivors within your halls. His program is continually a hit at ACUHO-I’s International Convention each summer and has been written about in “Talking Stick.”

    Follow-up Materials from Mike Domitrz

    After you bring a speaker to campus, do you wish you had more opportunities to continue the lessons learned in the presenter’s programs? Mike Domitrz, in conjunction with The Date Safe Project, has created a new line of posters that are both eye-catching and educational. “Do You Ask?” is the theme of this innovative campaign that teaches students “The only way you can absolutely know what your partner wants is by asking first!” Check the popular posters here!!

    In addition the powerful line of posters, you can utilize both of Mike’s books (May I Kiss You? and Voices of Courage) to continue the lessons and skills shared throughout the day by Mike. With the 100 PACK, your campus can get everything for a fantastic price. Click here to learn more!

    What is The Date Safe Project? In addition to his speaking and writing, Mike Domitrz founded and is currently the Executive Director of The Date Safe Project. Through interactive presentations, educational resources (posters, buttons, etc…), and national initiatives, The Date Safe Project is committed to being the nation’s leading organization for teaching why “asking first” is the key to building a better understanding of consent and to raising awareness of the many issues surrounding sexual assault.

    Sign the Pledge for Action Today!

    The Pledge for Action is a powerful agreement students, families, military members, educators, and individuals sign to pledge that they will do their best to help their family, friends and peers in potentially dangerous moments concerning alcohol, drugs, and sexual assault.

    How it works? First, read the pledge below. After reading the pledge, you will find instructions for signing the Pledge online right now AND for how to use the Pledge in your community and/or school.

    PLEDGE FOR ACTIONRM

    I, ____________________________________________, pledge to do my best to help my family, friends, and peers in potentially dangerous situations in which drugs, alcohol, a violent person, or other threats to their safety and well-being are present. I will do this by having the focus and self-control necessary to remain aware of my surroundings, the wisdom to identify dangerous situations, and the courage to take action in confronting my friends when their judgment is impaired.

    I recognize that these dangerous situations may arise at times when people feel safe and comfortable, such as at bars, parties (especially when alcohol is influencing the situation and a person is trying to “hook up” with another individual), or in the context of a romantic relationship. I realize that it may not always be easy to help people from harm in these situations, but by remaining watchful and showing care and concern, I may help to prevent a sexual assault from occurring.

    I understand that the ONLY person responsible for a sexual assault is the person who engages in sexual contact without the consent of the other person. Through my own positive words, actions, and beliefs, I am taking the responsibility of helping to end sexual assault. I will share with people the importance of consent and the need to obtain consent with your partner by Asking First. I will treat all survivors of sexual assault with my respect and admiration. I will inform all of my family, friends, and peers that “If anyone ever has or ever does sexually touch you without your consent, I will fully support you. I will always be here for you. Always (from simply listening to helping you seek the proper support from professionals)!” During the next 24 hours, I will start putting this pledge into action by saying these words to at least 3 people.

    Sexual assault is a horrific and traumatic crime. My active commitment to this project will help reduce the violence in my community and create a safer atmosphere for everyone.

    How do you use the Pledge for Action?    Start by signing the pledge online right now (scroll down to see the online pledge). Below where it reads “SIGN THE PLEDGE ONLINE,” fill out the blank boxes and click on “Sign the Petition.”  You will be forwarded to a page confirming you signed the pledge.  Plus, you will instantly receive an email which has a link YOU MUST click on – this link confirms YOU are the person signing the Pledge (avoids SPAM and misuse).   Your name is not able to be added to the Pledge until you click on the link in the email. Once you complete this process, you will be able to return to this page and see your name added to the list!

    For use in your community and/or school, each individual signs two copies of the agreement which you can download with the link provided below.  The first page of the download is the complete pledge which is given to each individual to take home and the second  page is a condensed version with The Date Safe Project, Inc. heart.  Have everyone SIGN across the heart and leave that smaller version with you.  Then at a later date, post all the signed hearts in specific locations around school and/or in your community.  By placing all the signed hearts around school and in town, students and the entire community will realize how many people DO care about this issue and are committed to helping others!

    Molloy College

    This morning was waking up at 4am – catching a flight to JFK in NYC and then driving to Molloy College for a 9:30am presentation. Afterward, I drove to Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, NY.

    Molloy College is always special because they are one of the first schools we worked with. Bob brought me in from the start and seeing him each year is like seeing an old friend. A big hug starts our day. Bob is a retired NYC police officer who has been at Molloy for several years now. You can see the impact he has when students walk by and talk to him.

    The last few years, Steve has been in charge of bringing me in and he does a really nice job organizing the day and morning. Kudos goes to Steve and Bob for the wonderful food collection they did the days before I got there – to give back to their community. The results were amazing.

    This year was their largest incoming class ever and so the gym was packed!! 9:30am for incoming college students can be rough. Not this group. They were responsive and shared openly. Thanks everyone. Now off to Vassar College.

    St. Lawrence Leads the Way with Advocates

    Tonight, I was at St. Lawrence University and every year they WOW me with their fantastic Advocates Program. If you work on a college campus and want to see a great example of student advocates in action, this is the campus to follow. Each year, over 30 students are trained to be sexual assault advocates. Just taking over the program a day ago is Chris Morran – who came from Lehigh University.

    In the coming weeks, we are going to schedule an interview for Chris to share how they’ve built the program at St. Lawrence AND what they are doing to expand it!

    As for the shows, it was HOT! Hot = great audiences who you know were going to make a difference AND HOT as in the temperature. The stage lights were hotter than normal. I didn’t get a long run in that day and so the show kept me in shape. :-) Actually, I LOVE the theatre at St. Lawrence for its intimacy and its great tech staff who always make sure things are running smoothly.

    A Big THANKS goes out to Amanda for bringing me back and to Chris for helping run a very successful event!!

    Check out the pictures and video below. The videos are first and then you’ll see the pictures. ENJOY!

    Do you want a speaker, author, and expert who is going to have your students rolling in the aisles from laughter and then just minutes later have everyone completely mesmerized in silence as he shares the personal story of his sister’s rape?

    As a leading authority on consent, healthy dating, and sexual assault awareness, Mike Domitrz understands that students want to be entertained and that schools want an expert who will make a positive and long lasting difference in the lives of their students. Everyone in a school assembly program wants a compelling and powerful presentation that each person can relate to in a meaningful manner. For this reason, Mike takes you and your students on a journey from hilarious laughter to hard-hitting questions. Then, he provides the answers every student will immediately want to use in his or her own life.

    From 6th grade through Seniors in High School, males and females from all cultures, backgrounds, sexual orientations, and diverse populations appreciate Mike’s sincerity and honesty. While he presents one of the “cleanest” programs in schools today, he holds nothing back.

    Through his role-playing with audience members and his portrayal of intriguing characters on stage, Mike turns what is often labeled as a “silent” issue into an engaging and thought-provoking event for you and your students. While most people simply “make their move” on a date, you’ll discover how and why “asking first” makes all the difference! Students are given the precise words and skills to insure both partner’s boundaries are respected at all times. Plus, you and your students discover how to appropriately intervene in potentially dangerous situations, including with their friends (alcohol, parties, etc…). In addition, everyone learns how to “Open the Door” to properly support all survivors of sexual assault. Through it all, each person gains a greater level of admiration and respect for survivors of sexual assault.

    Throughout your event, Mike will reveal a new and fun approach towards respect that will change each student’s outlook on dating and intimacy. When your students leave the “Can I Kiss You?” program with Mike Domitrz, they will be telling their friends, “Wow! I never thought of that stuff before! I need to completely overhaul my approach to dating and respecting others.

    Call 800-329-9390 TODAY to get an available date!

    Limited Dates are Available.  With his sons in school, Mike limits his travel dates.
